The Case for Gold: A Minority Report of the U.S. Gold Commission By
Rep. Ron Paul with Foreward by Lewis Lehrman.Originally commissioned by
the U.S. Gold Commission and subsequently issued in 1982 as a minority
report of the Commission, The Case for Gold is the first official U.S.
government investigation into the feasibility of a gold standard in
more than 100 years. After nearly 30 years, its history, and reform
plan remains the most compelling ever printed. Congressman Ron
Paul, one of the prime movers in the creation of the U.S. Gold
Commission, writes in his foreword, “more and more people are asking if
a gold standard will end the financial crisis in which we find
ourselves. The question is not so much if it will help or if we will
resort to gold, but when. All great inflations end with the acceptance
of real money."
